PREFACE. 


The Paintings contained in this catalogue are truly and justly 
celebrated, being the originals, at least a part of them, of the well 
known American Chromos, published by the lithographic firm of 
L. Prang & Co. of Boston, whose work in this branch of Art stands 
unexcelled. 

These pictures have borne an important part in the history of Art 
in the United States. 

•\s long as we have not the art-organizations of the Old World at 
■ command here, the Art Unions in every town, or annual migra- 
y exhibitions of works of art, which serve to bring the people 
■ o contact with the newest creations o: the palette and the brush, 
long must we depend upon other means, and these means the 
cnromo has supplied. 

Before its introduction here, there was no truly national renown 
for any artist or for any of his works. He and they might be known 
to a smaller or larger circle of refined persons, whose leisure permit¬ 
ted them to seek out the studios and galleries, and whose means 
allowed them to gratify their tastes, but beyond this circle the artist 
was unknown, and as far as the large body of his nation was con¬ 
cerned, he was in fact a nonentity. With the artists represented in 
this collection it is different. Their works have now a national 
reputation, they have become known, and have endeared themselves 
to the people all over our country, and hence it is, that we say there 
is an historical value attaching to them. They are really the first 
American Works of Art, of which this can be said. Even outsich 
of America have they done service to the cause of American Art 
many of them have become popular in Europe through their 
ningly wrought counterfeits. 



IV 


But aside from these considerations, the collection is also quite 
remarkable for the many works of artists of great reputation, which 
it contains. The names of Eastman Johnson, Thomas Hill, John 
G. Brown, A. F. Tait, J. Morviller, Virginia Granberry, M. F. H. 
De Haas, Ed. Moran, Geo. C. Lambdin, etc., are a sure guarantee 
for its excellence. Perhaps the most interesting pictures on the 
whole list will be found to be Tait’s “ Group of Chicken",” and 
Eastman Johnson’s “Barefoot Boy,” and certainly no pictures were 
ever as enthusiastically received before, and none have become as 
popular as these two. Mr. Tait’s picture first opened the path for 
chromo lithography in this country, and from its publication, must 
be dated a new era of art development in America. The “Barefoot 
Boy” itself, called forth by a poetical effusion, was in its turn the 
cause of more than one lyric strain, and the press in all parts of the 
country spoke of it in the most favorable terms with an almost 
unanimous voice. The thousands of copies which have been sold, 
attest the value that is put upon it by the people, and yet, if it had 
not been for the chromo, this painting would now be known to 
hardly a dozen people. 

The largest piece is Mr. Eastman Johnson’s “ Boyhood of 
Lincoln.” The chromo of this title was not, however, done from 
the painting now offered for sale, the artist having made a reduc¬ 
tion for that purpose. 

Mr. Thos. Hill’s “Yo Semite Valley,” on the contrary, is the 
reduction, which the artist himself made from his celebrated 6 x 10 
picture. This large canvass most New Yorkers will recollect as 
having been on exhibition here about a year ago. It elicited the 
most favorable criticisms where ever it went, and was finally 'sold to 
a wealthy Californian while on exhibition in San Francisco. The 
smaller picture is a very faithful rendering of all the beauties of its 
large progenitor. 

VVe cannot do more here than just mention some of the other 
specimens of American Art, such as Mr. De Haas’ “ Sunset on the 
Coast;” Mr. John G. Brown’s “Queen of the Woods,” “Little 
Bo-Peep” and “Playing Mother;” the charming fruit pieces by 
Miss Virg. Granberry; the “Blackberries” by Mrs. Lilly M. 



V 


Spencer, as good a painting as this lady has ever painted, and many 
others we must leave unmentioned. 

Among the specimens of foreign art, there are also some of a 
class, which rarely, if ever find their way to the Auction room, and 
then only when the private gallery of some rich connoisseur is 
broken up from some cause or other. 

Foremost among them all, is the beautiful painting by Jos. Coo- 
mans “Family Scene in Pompeii,” the chromo after which elicited 
the remark from the critic of the N. Y. Evening Mail, that “there is 
no second place for L. Prang & Co.,” and that it “is truly a 
wonder of lithography.” 

Hardly of less merit are “ The First Lesson in Music,” by T. 
Lobrichon ; “Spring time” by Van Wyngaerdt,-and several others. 

Of the paintings included in the catalogue, which have not been 
chromocd, the most interesting to Americans, is decidedly Wil¬ 
son’s “ Portrait of Abraham Lincoln,” a replica by the artist’s own 
hands of the large painting from life, made during the last days of 
the Martyrs earthly existence. 

On the whole, the collection will be found to be one of more than 
ordinary merit, and is well calculated to increase the reputation for 
conscientious care and good judgment, which the firm offering them 
for sale already enjoys to so enviable a degree.

JOHNSON, (Eastman,) N. Y. 

The Barefoot Boy. 

A\ 

“ Blessings on thee, little man. ^ «-■ 

Barefoot Boy, with cheeks of tan.” 


The gem of the collection, and truly a representative 
American picture. Mr. Whittier calls it “ a charming 
illustration ” of his little poem, and the cordial reception 
given to the chromo, proves that poet and painter have 
touched a cord in the heart of the people. Next to Mr. 
Tait’s “ Group of Chicken’s,” there is not another picture 
in the U. S., as well and as favorably known as Mr. E. 
Johnson’s " Whittier’s Barefoot Boy.”

his early home.

to be met with at auction sales. The present specimen is one 
of the best, if not the best, which have found their way 
to America, and the chromo being the most remarkable 
production of the art of lithography ever brought out 
anywhere, has given it a special additional value.

WILSON, (Matthew) of Washington, D. C. 
180 Portrait of Abraham Lincoln. 


I 



1 his portrait of the Martyr-President was painted to 
the order of Mr. Prang, in April. 1865, just after Mr. 
Lincoln’s death, and is a reduced copy, by the artists’ own 
hands, of the large portrait by Mr. Wilson, the well- 
known portrait painter. The large picture was painted 
from life for Hon. Gideon Welles, then Secretary of the 
Navy, in March, 1865. It is one of the few portraits of 
Mr. Lincoln which were actually taken from life, and the 
last one painted before his death. Forney’s “ Chronicle,” 
of June 23d, 1863, says of it: “ Those who knew him 


(Mr. Lincoln) in his genial and gentler moments, when 
composed and pleased, will find in Mr. ^Vilson’s work a 
wonderous charm. * * * The eye speaks 

with that mellow melancholy sometimes so noticeable in 
Mr. Lincoln.” A fine crayon drawing after this head was 
published by L. Prang & Co. 

Documents proving its authenticity and certifying to its 
truthfulness as a likeness through persons who were in 
daily contact with him, can be obtained from Messrs. 
Prang & Co.
